Washington Redskins linebacker London Fletcher has revealed that the door on his career is not closed entirely.
Fletcher announced earlier in the month that he was likely to quit the game at the end of the campaign after 16 seasons in the NFL, but he has admitted that he could be tempted for a return to the right team.
"Like I said, it's 99%. We'll see, man," Fletcher told the Washington Post. "I've had a great career, 16 years. I've got no regrets. The likelihood, it's highly unlikely I'll play another 16 games somewhere.
"That ain't happening. But if it's a team maybe 10, eight ballgames left, six ballgames left and it's the right opportunity, maybe. But I'm happy with the way my career has gone."
The 38-year-old has 104 tackles and two sacks on the season.
